| Core Tip |
Our study reports for the first time the use of PillCam COLON2 Capsule (PCC2) to evaluate mucosal healing of the entire intestinal tract in small bowel plus colonic Crohn's disease. Only 25% of our patients in corticosteroid-free clinical remission achieved mucosal healing in both the small bowel and the colon, while in 42% there was disease activity limited to either the small bowel or the colon. Endoscopic evaluation of the entire gastrointestinal tract with PCC2 was both feasible and safe. Our results highlight the limitations of clinical assessment when stratifying disease activity and emphasize the need for pan-enteric endoscopy in order to guide therapeutic adjustment. |
